Design Direction

There is a huge difference between what is fashionable and what is a trend. We look at it from a holistic perspective and forecast trends that will happen in the future. Our goal is to improve your accuracy when determining next steps and strategic directions. To do so, we analyse emerging trends, consumer needs, human behaviour, and how different drivers affect consumption. Answering questions about how consumers see the world, why they see it in that way, what is happening today, and how this information will transform future paradigms. In all that complexity, we help you to better understand facts and transform them into innovative actions for your company and your clients:

Materials are maybe the most important heading to evaluate the general quality of a product. A material or a specific colour allows a brand to communicate what procedures, approaches, designs, and treatments have been carried out during the manufacturing process. Setting you apart from the competition and challenging innovations. Together with our clients, we explore specific colours and textures that can create a unique design language. Resulting in a tangible selection of colours, materials and fabrics which not only look beautiful but also respect consumers’ needs:
